That said, there is quite a bit of information packed in here. If you are a beginner looking for historical or introductory information on typography, you may find it here. The book does serve as a decent typographic specimen book also, which is nice. (However, even some of the specimens are not well done--several of the typefaces shown in Chapter 6 show pixellation. The Universal font on page 94 is especially degraded.)
I do hope that many of the book's problems may be worked out for a future edition. I wish they had been worked out for this one.
